Thinking About Forest Fire

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 
We have to think seriously about the risk of forest fire, living where we do. Our home is surrounded by woodland and scrub and halfway up a forested mountainside. We have researched the topic and are busy thinning out the woodland on the most vulnerable, village-facing boundary of our property. We have had professional help felling three large pines that were too close to the house.

Barry is working very hard each weekend to fell the young pines around the boundary. The rest of us helping out at times too.

We hope that we never experience a forest fire, but we need nevertheless to prepare for one so that damage to our home would be less likely.
